I'd really like to know who came up with that list and what the criteria were for the selections. The omissions of such people as Satriani, Vai, Eric Johnson, Malmsteen, Petrucci, Jerry Cantrell, Zack Wylde, Al Di Meola, Neil Schon, albert King, and Ted Nugent, Not to mention countless others, is nothing less than a farce. Its a clear indication of how the quality of journalism in rolling stone has deteriorated especially over the last 10 years. They should stick to covering boy bands. Obviously they know nothing about real music. I'd be insulted if I were EVH and put in the #70 spot. He probably did more to influence guitar music than anyone else on that list including Hendrix. And who did Kirk "I didnt put leads on the new album because my wah pedal broke" Hammet do sexual favors for to get the #11 spot? The whole thing is funny.
